Search Results: how to tell a girls bra size

I was browsing my own local shop online and the first thing I did was to check the measurements of outfits before buying, most of the time the measurements were meant for petite woman with small boobs not for women or girls with a thicc body and medium/large boobs. I always have to buy clothes from H&M or Cotton On which caters to bigger sized woman like me. Whenever I went shopping for a bra made locally, the biggest is always a C cup. I wanted to support local fashion products but I couldn’t do it since all of their outfits couldn’t fit me. I remembered going bra shopping at the big mall near to my house, the lady in her 30s was asking me what size am I. I told her I was a 30D, she was very shocked and her reply was “that was very big, in Singapore majority of women and girls are a B cup, you’re like one of the few who had a D cup.” She said that she didn’t had my size so I went to a luxury mall to find my size. I was shopping at Victoria’s Secret as I had read online about some women talking that those bras caters to bigger boobs. A staff who was the same race as me asked me what’s my size to which I replied the same thing. She was very surprised, the good thing was she said they did have my size. I tried on the bra and waited for 15 minutes to see if it was comfortable, shockingly it wasn’t comfortable at all. The good news was I didn’t spend over $60 on a bra like that. I think guys would understand if they’re in a situation where outfits didn’t fit them most of the time because they’re muscular or bigger size than the average guy.

People have very limited knowledge of how bra sizing works, especially because they think D cup and above must be always big, which is false. Band size matters too. A 28G would be quite small whereas a 38C would be fairly big. So it's not that uncommon that if you tell someone your size, they might think you're really big when you're not, or they might think you aren't that big but in reality you are. Or maybe neither happens and people generally tend to estimate correctly or are not at all surprised by your bra size when they get to see how they actually look.

It's better if you can include your bra size. I'm allowing anonymous answers because some of you might not feel entirely safe to share such a personal detail.
